    History-dependent physiological adaptation to lethal genetic modification under antibiotic exposure

    Yuta Koganezawa, Miki Umetani ... Yuichi Wakamoto
    Single-cell time-lapse imaging and optogenetical gene recombination system uncovered that bacteria cells can overcome a deleterious genetic change of antibiotic resistance gene deletion depending on their environmental histories.

    SDR enzymes oxidize specific lipidic alkynylcarbinols into cytotoxic protein-reactive species

    Pascal Demange, Etienne Joly ... Sébastien Britton
    Deciphering the mechanism of action of a large family of natural and synthetic cytotoxic lipids bioactivated by enantiospecific oxidation into protein-reactive species inspires the development of enzyme-specific prodrugs.

    Modeling the consequences of the dikaryotic life cycle of mushroom-forming fungi on genomic conflict

    Benjamin Auxier, Tamás L Czárán, Duur K Aanen
    Fungi that produce mushrooms have a unique life cycle with two haploid nuclei, instead of a diploid nucleus, this allows additional matings and selection at the level of the nucleus, even with a fitness trade-off.

    An Archaea-specific c-type cytochrome maturation machinery is crucial for methanogenesis in Methanosarcina acetivorans

    Dinesh Gupta, Katie E Shalvarjian, Dipti D Nayak
    A streamlined form of the bacterial System I cytochrome c biogenesis machinery in archaea was characterized using Methanosarcina acetivorans as a model system.

    A bidirectional switch in the Shank3 phosphorylation state biases synapses toward up- or downscaling

    Chi-Hong Wu, Vedakumar Tatavarty ... Gina G Turrigiano
    Activity-dependent bidirectional changes in phosphorylation of the autism-associated scaffold protein Shank3 are essential for the expression of homeostatic synaptic plasticity.

    Ligand binding remodels protein side-chain conformational heterogeneity

    Stephanie A Wankowicz, Saulo H de Oliveira ... James S Fraser
    Protein conformational heterogeneity changes upon ligand binding are influenced by ligand properties and can modulate the free energy of binding.

    A LAMP sequencing approach for high-throughput co-detection of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus in human saliva

    Robert Warneford-Thomson, Parisha P Shah ... Roberto Bonasio
    COV-ID is a highly scalable technology that utilizes a two-step barcoding strategy to detect viral RNAs in saliva samples combining RT-LAMP, PCR, and next generation sequencing.

    MDGAs are fast-diffusing molecules that delay excitatory synapse development by altering neuroligin behavior

    Andrea Toledo, Mathieu Letellier ... Olivier Thoumine
    MDGAs are highly diffusive molecules that alter both neuroligin-1 and AMPA receptor dynamics and function, thereby significantly delaying the differentiation of excitatory post-synapses.

    A novel lineage-tracing mouse model for studying early MmuPV1 infections

    Vural Yilmaz, Panayiota Louca ... Katerina Strati
    A novel mouse model which permits tracking of papillomavirus infected cells in mouse stratified epithelia during early infection by means of genetic reporter activation.

    Von Willebrand factor A1 domain stability and affinity for GPIbα are differentially regulated by its O-glycosylated N- and C-linker

    Klaus Bonazza, Roxana E Iacob ... Timothy A Springer
    Both the polypeptide and attached O-glycans N-terminal to the A1 domain in von Willebrand factor lower its affinity for its ligand GPIbα on platelets, its stability, and structural dynamics and decrease population of a high-affinity, intermediate state in unfolding.
